Tragedy I have run out of my favourite perfume! Double tragedy Calvin Klein have discontinued it. I have searched Ebay and cannot find a single bottle. I am pretty upset. I do like a few different scents but this was my 'special date' perfume. The one I wear if I want to feel really good.
Now the job of finding a new favourite. I can't get out as much as I did, and you can only get a free tester on each hand, plus that does not stay long enough so that I can try over a couple of days, see if it suits me all the time.
The Fragrance shop recently developed a new initiative called Discovery Box, and have just launched their exciting fourth, edition. The Discovery Box allows you to explore the very latest fragrance launches from The Fragrance Shop in one box, delivered straight to your door!
For just £5 per quarter, each edition comes with fragrance samples for you to try, details on each of the fragrances included.
Now this works well for me as I can try out five scents and there is one for Chris.
Then if I like it I can buy.
I have busily been trying all of them out and so far I love the Hugo Boss Jour pour Femme, it is a lovely light fragrance, with lime, honeysuckle, freesia and white birch notes. Good for a daytime spray.
Aura Loewe is the luxury new fragrance, this is heady, sultry and one that gets people commenting, I have been asked a few times what I am using.
I am still trying them out and enjoying the experience, its a great idea.
The great thing is I can get £10 off my chosen fragrance, or indeed all of them,each bottle has £10 off voucher sent with the months choice. For instance I can get the HUGO BOSS BOSS JOUR POUR FEMME Eau De Parfum 30ml Spray for £24.50 and a free sample, some of the fragrances come with free gifts. Its free to pick up in store or a modest £2.95 to deliver.
Its a great way to try new scents and for gifts at Christmas I think its another great idea. A good idea to sign up for a family member who is mad on her perfumes.
Disclosure I was sent a Discovery Box to try for myself, I received no other incentive. My views are my own.
This is right up my street! When I have some more money I will definitely be considering adding this to my list of boxes. Hopefully, I can try after Christmas! How fantastic that you get five samples, discounts and they are the latest scents!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Jo!
One for the man too. The discount makes it perfect. Plus the samples have enough for a few trys.
DeleteI hadn't heard of this before! Not sure if it's for me though x
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by though. xx
DeleteThis would be great if they were bigger than vials, I would prefer actual little miniatures I think :-) Interesting post though!
